sjc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Busted! Took a wee trip to try and find sjc and I was shocked, shocked to find him in Leith trying to sink the Royal Yacht Brittannia Obviously those "renovations" were more extensive than he was letting on. Quite a bit fatter than I'd imagined Not sure Scottish Canals would let me away with having a mock German WW2 U-Boat! Looks smart though Is that Captain Birdseye?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverSinging Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Not all caravans are bad to be fair. I just don't agree with not paying rent etc whilst everyone else has to. Nobody has to. Anyone could do the caravan thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Das Boot!! That u-boat is a thing of beauty. Bidet? Get a Japanese toilet. It can warm your arse on those cold winter mornings as well as squirting your bum with water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinkerbelle Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 9 pages and still on topic, must be a record. Does the floating restaurant boat still run from Harrison park? Been on it once and it was very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 SJC, your neighbour's bright yellow boat is bowfin'! I keep catching it in the corner of my eye from my desk at work. Feckin off putting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it's a bit bright but its brand new & a very good spec.....makes mine look like a rusty old tub!

K.T Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Do you ever worry that it will spring a leak in the middle of the night when you're sleeping and sink? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Do you ever worry that it will spring a leak in the middle of the night when you're sleeping and sink? Not really....the boat gets surveyed every 4years to gain its BSS. The thickness of the hull is checked....when new its 10mm of steel.....they tend to lose about 0.1mm a year. Mine is 5yo so the hull thickness is deemed more than adequate. Do you worry that the gas boiler with explode through the night in your home?

Are you dreams more lucid, what with you bobbing about and what not? Do you get to put a wheelie bin out? If not, how do you deal with refuse? Have you ever pissed over the side of your boat? That is all. Edited June 14, 2013 by Confidemus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
